Citrus bioflavanoids and Urtica dioica are examples of two botanicals/plant flavonoids used to stabilize the mast cell, reducing its sensitivity to allergic triggers.

Bromelain enzyme is another botanical anti-allergic ingredient included. Here we use the most concentrated, undiluted bromelain available. Bromelain performs a number of useful functions. It is a natural anti-histamine. As a proteolytic enzyme it actually digests the histamine molecule. It is anti-inflammatory, and it is a mucolytic. It’s mucolytic actions allow it to digest and thin mucus, so that proper drainage can occur. This is especially important for closed spaces, such as the middle and inner ear, eustachion tubes, sinuses, and airways of the lungs. Additional anti-inflammatory enzymes such as protease, lipase, amylase, and cellulase also support bromelain.

Rice Bran is added to this formula for its sterol/sterolin content. These nutrients based on beta sitosterol and beta sitosterol glucoside act to balance T Helper 1 and T Helper 2 cell function. These T cells are shown to be imbalanced with excessive activity of the T Helper 2 cell fraction in allergy individuals. With overactive T Helper 2 cells the B Lymphocyte/Plasma cells are stimulated into excessive anti-body production. Excessive activity of T Helper 2 cells also leads to excessive inflammatory mediator output (interleukins, tumor necrosis factor alpha, etc.).

Turmeric, Ginger, Licorice, and Feverfew are additional anti-inflammatories also included. These plants have known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Curcuma longa (Turmeric) exhibits direct anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting leukotriene formation, inhibiting platelet aggregation, and promotion of fibrinolysis. Curcumin has been compared to an anti-inflammatory (without the negative side effects), being as effective in acute inflammation and approximately half as effective in chronic inflammation.

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) inhibits cytotoxic and chemotactic secretion of polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Feverfew also appears to inhibit the production of prostaglandins PGE2, thromboxane, and leukotrienes.

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) through its glycyrrhizin content is capable of extending the life of endogenous cortisol. This is its major benefit in reducing inflammation. Licorice also inhibits prostaglandin synthesis similar to cortisol by inhibiting phospholipase A2 and acting to reduce inflammation.

Zingiber officinale (Ginger) is thought to inhibit many inflammatory mediators (cyclo-oxygenase, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, etc.). Ginger has been used traditionally for inflammatory and painful conditions.

Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) has long been used to reduce allergic symptoms. In BioAllergy™. ascorbyl palmitate was chosen due to its fat-soluble nature. This allows Vitamin C to be retained in the tissues for a longer period of time, thus enhancing its tissue stabilizing and anti-inflammatory properties.

BioAllergy™ responds to allergic symptoms without drowsiness, anxiety, insomnia, rapid heart rates, irregular heart rhythm, or benign prostate enlargement. BioAllergy™ is a must for your medicine cabinet.

Precautions: BioAllergy™ should not be taken by persons with an active duodenal or peptic ulcer. BioAllergy™ should not be consumed if you are allergic to one or more of its ingredients. Licorice in amounts over 1.5 g./day should not be taken by persons with diabetes, glaucoma, heart disorders, persons with a history of stroke or high blood pressure.
